CRIN: Guide to Child Rights Mechanisms (2nd edition)

Summary: This edition of the guide includes developments since the document was first published in 2008.

The purpose of this guide is to help readers understand the ‘mechanisms’ working on child rights, such as different parts of the United Nations, or regional bodies like the African Union.

This is the PDF version of the online mechanisms guide we have developed here - part of a broader legal guide that also includes a database on international, regional and national laws relating to child rights. Visit the database

The guide is not exhaustive, or perfect, and will be updated as new developments unravel, and changes are made to existing mechanisms.

If you notice any inaccuracies, or have any other comments, we would like to hear from you. Please email: [email protected]

This guide includes links, so if you have access to the internet you can click on certain words or phrases which will take you to either the CRIN website, or other websites, where you can find out more.
